MAREABLU Falanghina 2022 Falanghina del Sannio Denominazione di Origine Controllata Bottled by Feudi Di San Gregorio Società Agricola S.p.A 83050, Sorbo Serpico (Avellino), Italy

Bellson is a much more interesting drum soloist than Rich.

The Hawk Talks session fron this double CD. A Mosaic box set of the Bellson Clef/Verve sessions would be really great. Much more varied and interesting than Buddy Rich.

Are there separate license fees for liner notes?

I, too, parted with it but probably would like it again ..... so it goes. It's a pretty wild album. Wilder than most ECM albums released after that one.

I own close to 10.000 CDs and LPs, the latter may be 10 to 15% as I keep only LPs that are not on CD or the latter sound inferior. I have a hard drive filled with MP3s etc. but rarely use it. I tend to burn CDs of the music I want to listen to more often. I rarely stream music, I do not want to pay for any service that I probably will not use that often, and I would have to change my hifi setup to do so. I have more music that I will have time to listen to, and I am still buying too much. I will have to downsize sooner or later, which I already do with my library once a year to keep it at its size, but need a second hand dealer for that. I sell my used books myself at a satisfactory rate, but am unsure about selling discs myself at current shipping rates and all the effort that goes into the process. And I love reading liner notes.

Licensed from Vogue. All on this CD:

Listening to this right now. Thanks for the recommendation.

A very good album, and a must for anybody who wants to hear Eddie Harris without electronics.

I have them all on LP, but it would be a great set! I saw Junior Cook's quintet with Bill Hardman at a Frankfurt club. Doug Hammond was there with his trio, and Doug introduced me to Junior and the band. Very nice guys. Junior then urged Doug's tenor player, Marvin Blackman, to sit in - it was fascinating to hear how different two saxists sounded on the same horn!

This evening, selected tracks from several Sonny Clark CDs - which made me decide to keep them and skip the Mosaic box. After these, in its entirety: Next is Christy Baron, just ordered her other two Chesky CDs.

👍👍👍 Now playing:

Brand new release. Whoever likes Haydn and Mozart or the "allemands", the Paris piano virtuosos of German descent, will appreciate her music. She was born in Lyon in 1764 and studied with Hüllmandel, Dussek, and Clementi. Excellent music, fiery and exciting, Mozart sounds tame in comparison.
